The Last and the First
The Last and the First | Ivy Compton-Burnett
5 posts
The Last and the First was Ivy Compton-Burnett's final novel. In it she deals with her familiar themes - tyranny, power and corruption. Although the novel was unfinished at the time of her death in 1969, it combines the brilliant wit and incisive insight into human relationships which make her one of the most original novelists in English literature.

My last book of 2018 was Dream It! Do It! by Marty Sklar, a super in-depth look at his career with Disney- finished it just in time for my New Year‘s trip to Orlando! 🏰🎢

My first book of 2019 will be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer‘s Stone for the #HPBuddyRead 🧙🏻‍♀️⚡️

What will be you last book of 2018 and your first book of 2019? If you post them, tag me @BookNAround and #lastfirst before Jan. 2, I‘ll randomly choose one person to send a little surprise to. The two books might be the same one if you‘re in the middle of one as the year turns over or they might be different books if you like to start fresh. I‘m not quite ready to declare my own last of the year yet so feel free to wait until 1/1 if you want.
